Re: a bit of spondoness.
as i said on the other thread, the pulse generator got changed and not a fook of difference that made either .. so it really is finished, doesnt go but at least its finished..
could be considered a waste of time or a great collection of parts for the yellow bike ..

Re: a bit of spondoness.
well because its Thursday the bike has decided on its own to go 90% better than it has been. i didnt touch it but bottoms great. tops great. a flatdead zone between 5 and 6 which its never had but at least the bloody thing is able to be ridden... just plain strange.
i held it in the dead zone for a few miles this eveing and its going into a weak state going by the plugs which is how it feels on the throttle... not perfect.far from it but a massive leap forward at least.
why? iv no idea but lets see if it keeps going or gets better before i try chasing this dead spot..
the popping and banging and backfires have gone completly aswell
i should mention its still running on the jetting its always had, 48 pilots and 190 mains.

Re: a bit of spondoness.
being sunday the bike decided to not have a flat spot at 5k. a little glitch at 4 just where i imagine you would be coming off the pilots onto the mains, otherwise it is flying
i have no answer and im not going looking one....

i got a reaction. sweet as a nut unto 6.. slight lull until 6.5 k then howls away like its always done.. what the actual fuk lol
so it decided over night 3 weeks ago it didnt like its K&N filter its had all this time? laws of vtrs say with that jetting and that honda filter it should run like crap, but oooh no not this one...
the filter/jetting i believe is masking something else but whatever it is, atm its just saved itself from being broken.. we will see
for now, happy days, if it so much as blinks, she gooooone baby..

Re: a bit of spondoness.
That reminds me,
When I traded in my Firestorm for the SP one of the reasons was the Dyno jet needles were eating into the emulsion tubes and making them go oval. The fueling was changing weekly and I was constantly having to fiddle with the fueling to try and compensate.
Might be worth a look

Re: a bit of spondoness.
I had a 1200 Bandit that also used to oval emulsion tubes pretty often and it ran great some days and awful on othersPete.L wrote:That reminds me,

Re: a bit of spondoness.
Can you replace the emulsion tubes ?
Worth a try.

Re: a bit of spondoness.
The emulsion tubes can be replaced (they are different front &rear) the needle jet can't be replaced and that is what usually gets ovaled from use.
